On a whim, I tried to cook one of my favorite appetizers from back in my past of working in an Itlaian restaurant. I modified it a bit and it came out great!
Fried Chesse
Slice Mozzeralla chesse into 1/4 inch slices
Bath in a wash of one egg
Roll in grated parmesan cheese, seasoned with basil and garlic
Fry in hot oil until brown on both sides
Serve on a bed of hot tamato sauce
Was cruising the snacks looking for something quick and easy (and that I had the ingredients for) and found your cheese sticks - they were fantastic. Made them exactly as you described and they're definitely added to the regular snack menu!
I tried this last week and it didn't work I made sure to cover them and only fried for a few seconds on each side... bummer. I'm going to try it again with some bake mix or pork rinds.
That worked easier than actually attepting to cut the cheese in even sizes. Not to mention was the only mozzarella cheese that I had around. I dipped them in a combo of keto crumbs, parmesan cheese and spices and dipped them in 2tbsp of this sugar free marinara sauce I have. I dipped them in the egg then mixture then egg then mixture again and then fried. Perfect!
Goya Adobo is a seasoning blend from Goya... they make 4-5 varieties i believe. Just go to the Hispanic section of your supermarket and look for it among all the Goya stuff... I use the blue "sin pimienta" version. It's just a blend of garlic powder, salt, tumeric, and some other stuff.
I actually thought about freezing too... that's how mozzarella sticks are made in restaurants... probably freeze overnite after rolled in egg/bakemix/parmesan.
